What is the least LGBTQ friendly city?

There isn't one single "least" friendly city, as rankings vary, but recent studies from 2023/2024 consistently point to cities like Memphis, TN, Houston, TX, Jacksonville, FL, and Birmingham, AL as among the least LGBTQ-friendly, often due to state-level anti-LGBTQ+ laws, lack of affirming resources, and low equality scores in research from groups like the HRC | Human Rights Campaign and Queer Forty.

Does BG3 allow polyamory?

Yes, you can be poly in Baldur's Gate 3, but it's limited: primarily through Halsin (who is open to sharing) or sometimes Astarion/Karlach/Shadowheart with him, but you can't have a stable polycule with multiple Origin characters (like Astarion and Gale) without mods, as most companions prefer monogamy and will leave you. Halsin acts as a central hinge, allowing relationships with him and another companion, with Shadowheart, Karlach, and Astarion sometimes accepting this arrangement, though it can get messy.

Who is the least popular romance in Baldur's Gate 3?

The character often cited as having the least substantial or most disappointing romance in Baldur's Gate 3, especially early on, is Minthara, due to its short, Act 1-focused nature and lack of follow-through compared to main companions, though some find Halsin or non-origin characters like Jaheira (who isn't romanceable but has approval) less developed in comparison. Minthara's romance feels like a missed opportunity, requiring significant sacrifice for a relationship that largely ends after a single major scene, leading players to feel it's underdeveloped, especially when compared to popular arcs like Shadowheart or Karlach.

What is the 100 mile rule in polyamory?

The "100-mile rule" in polyamory is a relationship agreement allowing partners to engage in other sexual or romantic relationships only when they are physically located more than 100 miles away from home or their primary partner, often during travel for work or vacation, creating a temporary boundary for discretion and emotional separation from daily life. It's a form of geographical non-monogamy designed to manage feelings and provide a clear distinction between "home" life and "away" connections, though some find it a limited solution for deeper intimacy issues.

Do BG3 characters romance each other?

Yes, you can romance other players' characters in Baldur's Gate 3 multiplayer, but with limitations: one player usually controls a custom character (Tav/Durge) and can romance companions or the other player's character if they are an Origin character, while the other player might control a companion, leading to them experiencing scenes as a spectator sometimes, though some workarounds exist for player-to-player romances by assigning companions. The core romance is between player characters (PCs) and non-player characters (NPCs) or between two PCs if one plays an Origin character, with players gaining approval and triggering scenes like the Act 1 celebration.
